Won't charge in Mini Cooper (Car) and only plays songs in alpha order

Yeah - this is lame. I got a nano for Christmas and replaced my old one (broke).
1) It won't charge in my 2005 Mini Cooper (Car)
2) It only plans songs in alpha order
I skip all over the place trying to listen to music. I've been all over chat rooms looking for a solution and can't find one.
Anyway - I read GeoChip is the answer to the charging problem. Any try it who doesn't work for GeoChip?
Also - anyone have a solution to the alpha order problem? I've tried ordering the songs (far left column), Apply Sort Field option, created a "Mini" folder with songs in it several times...

My Nano has issues with my 09 Cooper using the iPod/USB interface.
What are you using as an interface?
What iTunes version ?

  • How can you get the car stereo to play songs on nano in order?

    Hi--I just got an ipod nano and connect it to my car stereo via a usb port.  No matter what controls I try (on the car) it just plays songs in alphabetical order of the song (regardless of the album title).  How can I get it to play in the order I want (like one album at a time)?

    Mine does. If you can browse by artist, album or song titles, chances are it can brwose through playlists as well. Also make sure that you don't have shuffle selected.
    The iPod should play songs in the order that they are listed on the display.

  • My sons iPod touch stopped working, it won't charge in a docking station and the computer/itunes won't recognize it when connected.  We have tried holding the power and home button at the same time for several seconds, and the screen still stays black

    Hello skdog I possibly think your ipod touch is black because it has not charged. If your dock is broken it might just mean the dock will be broken and so might be the USB port. You should see an Apple shop nearby and hand it over and see what they can do. I hope this information works!

  • Can Apple mail me a new charger if mines has broken and I'm still under warrenty?

    My Apple charger that came with my phone is no longer working. I'm also not able to get to the Apple store and there is no public transportation for me to get to one either. Would Apple be able to mail me a new charger, since mines is broken and I'm still under warrenty?

    Depending on your country Apple have a mail-in service in certain countries for warranty issues ,share where you are and we can point you in the right direction
    and by charger do you mean the cable OR the plug that goes into the wall socket ,they are two discrete items

  • My MacBook Air won't charge using the power cord and it's not the power cord that's malfunctioning. The battery is now exhausted.

    My MacBook Air won't charge using the power cord and it's not the power cord that's malfunctioning. I went to Radio Shack and tried two new cords. The battery is now dead. Any thoughts?

    Unfortunately, my battery has died as a result of not being able to charge with the power cord. Not sure what an SMC reset is but I have made an appointment to bring my laptop in to the Apple Store. Thank you for your response. Very much appreciated.
    Warm Regards,

  • HT1689 i have over 5000 songs on my computer. Which is from songs bought from iTunes and from cd. i had all the songs on my iPod. went to download new songs and only 1500 songs are download . please help

    i have over 5000 songs on my computer. Which is from songs bought from iTunes and from cd. i had all the songs on my iPod. went to download new songs and only 1500 songs are download . please help

    Since all of your music came from your computer in the first place, then it should still be there and should be included in your backup copy of your computer.
    " it told me when i pluged hers in 2 ipods could not use the same account"
    This is not true.  You have misunderstood.
    You can sync as many ipods/iphones/ipads as you like to one one library.

  • HT203167 I pre-ordered and downloaded Justin Timberlake's 20/20 Experience album through iTunes, but the only file I see is an LP which opens up a special screen and only plays 1 song (Mirrors). Where can I find the rest of my album?!

    How do I find the rest of the songs from Justin Timberlake's new album? I preordred it-it is listed in my purchases on itunes, but the only thing listed on my "music" is the album title that opens a special screen and only plays mirrors!

    Step by step, how did you arrive at seeing this agreement?

  • If i plugged my ipod into my computer but unplugged it to fast and only 25 songs synced and i lost 100 of my songs, can i get those back somehow?

    If I plugged my ipod into my computer and unplugged it to fast and only 25 songs synced onto the computer, then is there any way to get my lost 100 songs back?

    Were these songs purchased from iTunes? If so,you can re-download content purchased from the iTunes store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option from the Quick Links section in the top right corner of the iTunes homepage in your iTunes application on your computer.
    Hope this helps!

  • In my shuffle 4g the songs not playing properly most of the times it gives some kind of sound and stop playing songs.

    in my shuffle 4g the songs not playing properly most of the times it gives some kind of sound and stop playing songs.

    First, make sure the headphones plug is completely pushed into the headphones jack.  Because the jack serves multiple functions, the fit may be tighter than expected (especially if you have the Apple EarPods).
    Also, try using the headphones with another device, to rule out bad headphones.  Or try another set of (known working) headphones with the shuffle.
    Are you using older headphones that have remote control buttons?  Not the latest EarPods and not the immediately previous version of white Apple earbuds.  Or non-Apple headphones with remote control buttons.  It's possible they are not compatible and interfering with the shuffle's operation.  Any standard headphones (with no buttons) should work.
    If that does not help, you can try doing a Restore on the shuffle in iTunes.  The Restore button is on the shuffle's Summary screen in iTunes.  This will erase the shuffle, reinstall its software, and set it to defaut settings.  If a software (or settings) problem on the shuffle is the cause, the Restore should fix it.
    Otherwise, if the Restore does not help, it may be a hardware problem.  If it has been less than one year since purchase, it is under warranty.

  • HT1430 I am trying to charge my iPad but it won't charge & keeps turning itself on and off

    I am trying to charge my iPad but it won't charge & keeps turning itself on and off

    You can try resetting your iPad by simultaneously pressing and holding the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons until you see the Apple Logo. This can take up to 15 seconds so be patient and don't release the buttons until the logo appears.
    Try again to see if the problem persists.

  • Shuffle Won't Shuffle and Only Plays Sometimes

    Help! I received a Shuffle for my birthday last month. I've charged it and loaded it, but it only plays once in a while and won't play at all when on the shuffle model. I've tried updating and upgrading, but it still only works every once in a while! I have a road race on sunday and desperately need to have music!
    Thanks.
    Penny

    Hi Anne! Thanks alot. I've been meaning to send mine back too, but just haven't gotten the chance yet. I've been able to get it to play more often than not, but the songs will only play in order and the shuffle often stops for no reason and starts at the beginning of my play list again. I was so happy to get the shuffle so am really bummed it isn't working.
    Good luck and please do keep me posted!

  • Torch will NOT charge with Wall or Car Chargers, only USB - what is the fix?

    About 3 days ago, my Torch decided it no longer wants to work with ANY wall charger, or car charger for that matter.  I have been using it just fine for the past 6 months, and charging it just about every night, topping it off for a fresh charge for the morning.
    Now, NO wall chargers work, simply no response.  The ONLY way I can charge is via the USB cable and my laptop.  This is VERY annoying and no one at the AT&T store seems to know what's going on.
    I've tried all kinds of battery pulls and reboots - even upgraded to the latest software, downgraded back - NOTHING seems to be working!
    What is the solution to this problem?  How can I get it to charge again in my wall and car chargers?

    If the device (Blackberry phone) will recharge using the computer this means that the port on the device should be functioning properly.  The USB port on your computer puts out up to 500 ma at 5 Volts. The voltage regulator in the phone adjusts the power coming in to be in specs to charge the battery. The Blackberry charger is a 700 ma charger. The computer will take about 30% longer to charge the phone.
    I have had the connectors on the chargers and car adabtors go defective from handling and use.  I have also had chargers fail. Since the phone can be recharged using the computer this tells me the fault has to be with the charging devices you have. Unfortunately these chargers are not serviceable. As for myself, over time I bought a number of spare chargers.
    I would strongly suggest to try another charger. Maybe you can go in to a store that sells them and try another charger that they have in stock.
    When buying or trying a charger, it would be best to get an original Blackberry charger. This guarantees the specifications will be exactly correct for your phone, and also for the electrical safety for your phone. It is also known that many of the universal chargers will not properly charge the Blackberry phone.

  • IPad Air won't charge with ipad made adapters but only with iPhone's

    My ipad air won't charge with any ipad made adapters! but will charge with my iPhone adapter. Oh and I bought my charger and adapter for my iPhone (that I now use for my iPad Air) at a store that doesn't relate to the officials apple store for only 12 dollars sadly when I charge my iPad Air
    TTo let you know, my ipad adapter would always get hot so is it a problem with my ipad or adapter

    my ipad adapter would always get hot so is it a problem with my ipad or adapter
    Since your iPad charges with the phone adapter, the iPad adapter (that is made by who knows) is the problem. You tried to save a few dollars and it did not work. Get a real Apple adapter and your problems will go away.

  • My ipod won't charge with USB or AC adapter - only Firewire

    I recently bought a 3rd gen 20 gig ipod of ebay and it won't charge through USB or AC adapter. When I charge it through firewire, it loses its charge fast, so I am assuming the battery is dead. This still doesn't explain why it won't charge through USB or AC. Does anyone know why this might be? Please help!

    good to know that 3G ipods don't charge through usb - but I still don't understand why an AC adapter wouldn't work. I can't even figure out the charging patern - it seems that when I plug it in through USB it drains the battery, but the battery life varies. One minute it will have full charge, then the next it will turn off and say it is empty, then the next it will have half life, all without plugging it in. Frustrating...

  • IPod mini and recently played songs

    I have an iPod mini 6GB which I sync automatically with iTunes.. My playcounts and recently played-date/time is registered in iTunes as it should when I sync with iTunes, BUT 50% of the songs I listen to on the iPod, does not show up in my "recently played" -playlist on my iPod! The same playlist in iTunes is 100% correct though, it is only the iPod! It's like it doesn't know that those songs have been played (but iTunes does)! And this is a problem for me since I submit my last played songs to www.last.fm and I want to submit ALL the songs I listen to on my iPod, not just 50% of them! I have had this problem from time to time before, but in the last weeks it has been like this every day!
    Does someone know what is wrong and what I can do about it? I'm so tired of having to play songs over again in itunes when I get home, in order to get them submitted to last.fm..

    Make sure you have Enable live updating ticked in the playlist. (Get Info on the playlist)
